Hi again. Now a real suggestion.Would it be possible to add some way to get an IFbMetadbHandleList directly from the library rather than a playlist.According to this thread in the developpers forum, there are methods (library_manager::enum_items() or library_manager::get_all_items() )to do this. However i don't know how, or even if they can be used to create a WSH method as i know nothing of C++ prgramming.Such a method could be used to code a library browser in WSH without dirty trick like creating a temporary auto-playlist.

Is there a simple way to draw rotated text?Also! Is there a way to access the current playback mode?My aim is to draw "REPEAT" or "LINEAR" or whatnot vertically along the left side of my playlist, so it takes up the least room and adds variety to the otherwise overwhelmingly horizontal layout I have going on.

One last question, is there a way to get rid of the ever so faint light gray border on between my panels that show up even if the 'border style' property is set to none on Win7?

When I make changes to the script and hit OK or Apply both images appear just fine. When I close and reopen foobar, or switch between configs and back (i.e. loading the script in ANY other manner than OK/Apply) image_bg displays just fine, but settingsImg does not.

Figured it out. My on_init function is not a standard callback, just a function that gets called when the script loads. It calls on_size() manually which apparently doesn't have a window setup so Window.Width and Window.Height are both 0, therefore the image was being positioned offscreen because I was offsetting it from the right edge. Guess that's the dangers of editing from someone elses scripts.

fb.CursorFollowPlayback and fb.PlaybackFollowCursor don't appear to be writeable. i can easily workaround this by using the main menu commands but i just thought i'd report it as the docs do say you can both read and write.....

i'm very pleased to see a new release of my favorite foobar2000 component thanks T.P

I've a question and if possible a request

is it possible to get the color of a pixel of an image object? i'd like to draw a background with a color close to the album art color : by resizing the cover image to the size of 1x1 pixel, i think it will give me the main color of a cover, and if WSH panel mod could provide a method to get the color of this pixel, i could grab it and then use it ...

On the topic of pixels, I've been trying to align text and images in scripts that maintain alignment as string length and font sizes change for different image and screen sizes, but without success. The .length of a string just provides the length in characters, not pixels as I desire.

I searched for something to do this, but could only find examples that seemed specific to HTML, and this approach , which i'm still trying to absorb.

Any advice on how to determine the pixel length of a string within a WSH script is appreciated. If there is no existing straightforward way, then it would be great to have the ability to do so via a future panel mod function. Thanks!
